The jug is very high quality. It is very convenient that the pitcher is dishwasher safe (Was already often in the dishwasher, changes / discoloration on material were not found). The insulation effect is very good. The material is resistant to breakage. This shocks etc. are not a problem. It must be noted that the lid does not close completely tight. That is, if the pot tipping it runs out. Therefore, the pot is for example only partially suitable for morning coffee or tea to take to the office. For this, the pot is but probably not intended. The handle of the jug is sometimes a bit hot (may be because that the jug was contrary to the information in the "Operating Instructions" for highly filled). The one-handed operation of the lid can not quite convince, because the lid very firmly seated and with only one thumb then something jumps up suddenly during operation. At both of these criticisms but I have got used quickly. Still, I'm very pleased with the pot and they recommend taking into account the criticisms you.
